I ordered less than a minute after the camera went up for pre-order. Had the first confirmation email of anyone I know of based on what's been posted online.

Card has not been charged. Status remains "pending." Really unhappy.

Yes, that sounds a bit odd. Have you tried calling them and asking what is going on?

Maybe (just speculating here) they got a very large number of cameras - enough to fill all the preorders placed in the first few days - and are processing the orders in batches according to shipping methods, not in strict order# ... meaning the people with the slowest shipping get processed first ...

That's possible. I ordered with the slowest shipping (free) but it's one day to me. Maybe it's by geographical location.

I got a call from American Express today about fraudulent charges in New York for $3499....had to tell them it was me buying my 5d mkIII. Then I called Adorama to make sure the transaction went through. I did one day shipping and it should arrive at my doorstep tomorrow.

Adorama order will ship today or tomorrow. Not ordered till the afternoon on March 2nd, so the first batch will be pretty generous, it seems. Status still says pending, but found out when they tried to charge my card. CS was VERY nice.
